Yuu Tageshima

Yuu Tageshima (たげしまゆう, Tageshima Yuu) is one of the main protagonists of the Enslaved Series. It is revealed in Volume 4 that she is Pres (大統領, President). Later on in Volume 5 she becomes Yuuki Tageshima (たげしまゆうき, Tageshima Yuuki).

Summary
Yuu is a very intelligent but irrational child. Back in the real world, he didn't go out much unless he was forced to by his friends. He enjoyed playing video games with his friends Lily and Harley. After getting transported to the Fractured Realm, Yuu started his drastic change. As a female in this world, Yuu became more violent, less rational, and began distancing himself from anyone who tried forming a relationship with him. In the events of Volume 4, it was revealed that he was Pres, and after Pres takes control of his body, his attitude changes again.

Pres is an alter ego of Yuu Tageshima. Pres's real name is Yuu Tageshima, but the two are very different. She is highly intelligent, and she is very rational. For a short time, she was the leader of the 2nd generation of archangels. She is shown to be very sensitive after we find out about her history with Rei. Pres sees herself as an extension of Yuu Tageshima. It is shown that even before her eventual appearance, she had been influencing and helping out the group in their unfortunate situations. In the events of Volume 5, Pres eventually goes back to sleep, and Yuuki Tageshima is born.

Yuuki Tageshima is an entirely separate person from Yuu and Pres. She is shown to be very clumsy and dorky. She still retains Pres's massive span of knowledge about the world. Later on, it is shown that she continually suffers from the thought that everyone only sees her as Yuu Tageshima. She wants to be seen as her own person. Yuuki, compared to Yuu and Pres, is very detached from her otherworldly traits and memories. Regardless of how much she stresses it, people still refer to her as Yuu and or Pres.

Appearance
In the real world, Yuu Tageshima is a 15-year-old boy with straight black hair and bands down to his neck with red eyes. He usually is wearing his school's male uniform. After getting transported, he becomes a girl with long messy black hair and red eyes. Initially, when he was transported, he was wearing the female version of his uniform when he woke up. As Pres, she wears a green jacket with a hoodie, black jean shorts, black thigh-high leggings, and thigh-high black boots. As Pres, she has long, silky white hair that goes down to the middle of her back. In Volume 5, going into 6, Yuuki retains the same hair color and style. However, she starts wearing a black overcoat with a white hoodie underneath. She also wears dark blue ripped jeans and black steel-toed thigh-high boots.

Personality
Yuu Tageshima is very intelligent; however, he lacks the ability to be rational in certain situations. Yuu Tageshima is very revenge-driven, he has very violent tendencies and is very aggressive towards anyone that goes against what he's doing. Upon reuniting with Pres, he becomes very rational while gaining a boost in his knowledge due to Pres's frequent talks with Deus about the history of the world. Pres, however, is shown to have lost Yuu's original aggressive and violent behavior. She is shown to be very sensitive after we find out about her past with Rei. However, she can be very demanding and amoral.

After becoming Yuuki Tageshima, she becomes very ditzy and clumsy. She still retains Pres' vast knowledge, which is why it seems like she's two different people based on the situation at hand. Sometimes she shows one side, which seemingly has the mentality of an infant. While the other side isn't much different from Pres. Yuuki hides her sadness with a smile in order to keep people from worrying about her. Compared to Yuu, she is much more depressed at her current situation in this world. She doesn't use violent and aggressive methods to cope, though. She wants to be seen as an individual rather than being seen as Yuu Tageshima. For this very reason, she has openly expressed her hatred for Yuu and hopes to one day get the chance to kill him with her own two hands.

After giving up her emotions for power, Yuuki enters Slave Form. This Yuuki has no sense of remorse, empathy, and she is extremely amoral. In this form, she can no longer feel anything. She claims that this form gives her true freedom. While her methods can be seen as cruel and, to some extent, ruthless, she still retains her rationality. Her knowledge remains the same as well, allowing her to keep her common sense.

Real World History
Yuu Tageshima is a 15-year-old boy that goes to school just like any other ordinary student. Yuu has two siblings that go by the names of Reji Tageshima and Mia Tageshima; he also has two parents that go by the names of Fumiko Tageshima and Itsuki Tageshima. In the past, while growing up, Yuu never received much attention from his parents. Reji was their pride and glory. Yuu usually stayed in his room and played video games with his friends Lily and Harley. After Reji's disappearance during a school trip, his parents end up pressuring him to become the new Reji. After many failures, his parents deem him as useless and begin mentally abusing him. Mia ends up becoming their parent's new pride and joy. Because of this, Yuu makes it a priority to avoid Mia and his parents whenever he can. Eventually, after seeing that, Mia was also stressed out because of their parent's, he tries to fix their relationship. Due to this, Mia and Yuu become very close, almost inseparable. Due to his mental abuse, it took Yuu along time to make friends. One of his friends, named Riley Garcia, met her end due to a beartrap. While attempting to save her, he ends up also getting injured. He is hospitalized, and during that time, he agonizes over his inability to do anything to save Riley.

After he is released, he goes back to school. He never really mentally recovered after Riley's death. Yuu has a problem where he seals his problems and doesn't talk about them. Due to her involvement in Riley's death, Yuu begins avoiding Mia again. It doesn't work, and Mia eventually brings it up, and it causes an argument. It appears at first that they worked things out; however, according to both of them, after that argument, they drifted further apart. Eventually, the fateful day arrives. One morning Yuu, Mia, Keith, and Lily go to school and get transported to the Fractured Realm along with their class.

Fractured Realm History
Yuu wakes up in the Fractured Realm as a 9-year-old girl. Along with the rest of his class that seemed to change as well. During the events of Volume 1 in the Dradkiel incident, Yuu is captured by Lucifer and taken back to his base. While there, Lucifer removes Yuu's memories, causing a new personality to appear. This is when Pres is born. For the next six months, Pres forms a bond with most of the archangels, including Rei. Rei promises to run away with her to start a new life; however, he ends up abandoning her and chasing Tamashi. This causes Pres to develop a tiny hatred towards Rei. Deep down, she still cared about him a lot, but she wanted answers. After regaining Yuu's memories, she lost control after her memories and his collided. She single handedly killed the remaining archangels that failed to escape. This event still haunts her to this day. For this reason, she now tries to give the archangels all of her attention. She only forgives Rei after claiming that the problem wasn't worth fretting over anymore.

After Pres finally falls asleep after killing the archangels, Yuu wakes again in a dungeon. In that dungeon are tons of dead children that are also bound to the walls. That's when Lucifer enters the dungeon and hands Yuu over to Lady Velvet. Yuu initially befriends a girl named Margaret. However, she ends up tricking Yuu one day, and all the boys in the house rape her. But the sexual abuse didn't end there. Yuu ends up killing Margret that same night and becomes Lady Velvet's favorite. Yuu ends up suffering for six years inside of Lady Velvet's house. She endures sexual, physical, and mental abuse. Around her fifth year, she takes part and passes her graduation exam. It is said that Yuu murdered over 40 children during the course of the exam. By the time Yuu was 14, she was cold, ruthless, violent, and she didn't trust a single soul. Then one day, a girl named Rena showed up at the house. She was weak timid and couldn't do anything on her own. However, Rena managed to melt the ice that was surrounding Yuu's heart. For the first time in a long time, Yuu was able to love someone, to trust them. He enjoyed these genuine feelings and wanted to survive with Rena. He chose to stay in the house to watch over Rena and to protect her from Lady Velvet. However, due to some foolish decisions, Yuu's plan to escape the house ends in Rena being killed by one of Lady Velvet's elite soldiers. Yuu ends up lashing out and killing all of the remaining soldiers. He even enters a deadly battle with Lady Velvet. However, he ends up losing the fight, but he manages to escape after wounding her eye. He takes Rena's body and travels a far distance from Lady Velvet's house and buries her. Then he passes out on the ground.

Powers & Abilities
Slave Form

In this form, Yuuki becomes one of the strongest people in the world. She traded her emotions/feelings in order to rid herself of the sorrow that flowed through her body. Doing so ended up giving her control over the virus in her heart. In this Slave Form, Yuuki no longer has a heart. Her power in this form is immense. Numerous characters have stated that she has enough power to destroy the entire Fractured Realm. It should be noted that she's taken multiple hits from General Drayden and stood without looking fazed at all. She also cut through Olivia's strongest attack and wounded her, while it took the General a lot just to shatter her winged defense.

Ain Soph Aur
Ain Soph Aur  (アインソフアウル): Known as the Angel Of Death, it is a crystal-like sword that had been split in half in the past. When both halves come together again,  Ain Soph  (アイン・ソフ): is created. Ain Soph is the Angel Of Laws. Even though it isn't in the complete state anymore, Ain Soph Aur is still a formidable weapon. It allows the wielder to fire copies of the blade at their opponents. If you stab the sword into the ground, it also shoots copies of the blade out of the ground to attack your enemies. The True form of Ain Soph is  Ain  (アイン): The Angel Of Void. Ain is the final stage of Ain Soph Aur; however, no one in this generation can reach that stage. Wielding it requires one's Aura Power to exceed normal limits.
 * Anaph, (七枝の剣, Seven Branched Sword): When using Ain Soph Aur, Anaph comes out as a slash of pure dark energy. This slash can and will cut anything in its path. Anaph has different stages of power. In the first stage, it's pure dark energy. In its final stages, it turns into a slash of light and dark energy. It should be noted that this attack alone has the capability of splitting an entire continent in half. It also had enough power to shatter Olivia's winged defense while inflicting a fatal wound.
